Community development

What we will do 2008-2011

Introduction
We have worked with our partners and residents to create a community development strategy. We will use this to help our residents and communities work together to improve their quality of life and create better and stronger neighbourhoods.

In Spring 2007 residents, staff, and partner organisations came together at the ‘Communities Count’ event to talk, visit the huge number of stalls and share information. Westlea’s Neighbourhood Involvement Team ran a consultation stall to discuss ideas for the new strategy.

This summary sets out how we will work with residents and partners to focus on ten key areas: Youth & Children; Crime Adults; Health; Finance; Social Enterprise; Employment & Training; Environment; Housing and Transport. This is three more areas than in our 2004-7 strategy.

We want to make sure that community needs are met and that we communicate with residents in a clear, inclusive, and timely way regarding our services. We will work together to ensure we make a real difference to people in the neighbourhoods where Westlea has homes.
